Interval Review:

Reviewed and added additional 3rd string - 2nd string.
Also, reviewed Anki Fretboard deck (haven't done in almost a year) - another thing I need to keep reviewing.

Repertoire:

Pica Pica
Played with and w/o metronome @ 90. Getting better but still speeding up.
Experimented with different tempos - 2nd time around of Part B can be played much faster for a cheap showman effect

Estrellita
The chord jump in Part B is the hardest, but it's all about confidence, like so many things in life

Na Gafieira Do Vidigal
Finally transcribed rest of part C.

Samba Caribe
65 bpm.
Part A measure 3 end - need to mute chord immediately after hitting it
Bart B measures 9 - 14 : easy to just memorize with muscle memory, but real memorization requires knowing the scale degrees - need to keep reviewing this
